The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously, and have somebody find out. (Oscar Wilde)

Reputation is a way of measuring how much the community trusts you. Good contributions (commenting, posting facts, adding statements...etc) are rewarded while negative contributions (bad language, questionable sources...etc) can make you loose reputation.

Reputation gives you swag and unlocks new privileges. You can earn up to 25 reputation per day.

These rules are subject to change, especially as the number of users grows.
